+ | * G-PHY devices: not working with kernels 3.15 and 3.16-rc1 (a regression). This was fixed in 3.15.5 ([[https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=linux-3.15.y&id=6f3f164bd0efe9a090cd74e08d6195c95024a1d1|6f3f164]]) and 3.16-rc3 ([[http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2fc68eb122c7ea6cd5be1fe7d6650c0beb2f4f40|2fc68eb]]). | ||
